I recently sent a video to a couple of men. The response was different from what I had expected. “They use big words.” I had planned to respond in a not-so-good way, but it wouldn’t have been appropriate. However, I would like to remember some things from the video, so I will post my thoughts

John 5:1-9 Get Up and Walk Interestingly, my writing through John had me at the story of the invalid. Reading and writing this passage of scripture caused me to think about its meaning and whether it is helpful for myself and those around me. My first thought is that this is a call to action.

I was confronted with another question the other day from my wife. It wasn’t her question but one that was posed to her by a friend. This letter is not directed toward the friend but towards Christians who are discontent with how they feel in a church. They tend to ask questions or say, “This

I feel like I am in a never-ending game of “capture the flag” with the devil. Whenever I believe my flag is well-guarded, he steals it. I am sick of this stupid game. It is unfair, and I do not know the rules. More accurately, I may know the rules but have little success putting
